Why John Kerry's acceptance speech could cost him the election.
Paul Gigot reminds us in this article that the upcoming election is not going to rest on what John F_ing Kerry did, or did not do, in Vietnam. The more important and relevant question is what John F_ing Kerry stands for today and what his record in the senate tells us about his political and foreign policy ideas. Personally I would say that the two are not mutually exclusive. Rather, one might make the argument that the actions of John Kerry in Vietnam and those of John Kerry in the US Senate follow from the same basic philosophy. But Gigot has a point. The record of John F_ing Kerry in the Senate is one which is anti-defense, anti-military and anti-capitalist. John F_ing Kerry is yet another example of the east coast establishment liberalism which has been consistently on the wrong side of the issues and of history. And regardless of their claims, they have not had a new idea since the 1960's where they seem to be permanently stuck
